Ukraine took part in the first Eurovision Dance Contest in 2007. Representing the country were Yulia Okropiridze, a student of Kyiv National University of Culture and Arts, and Illya Sydorenko, a professional in ballroom choreography. The dances they performed on the night were Quickstep and Showdance. Ukraine came second after receiving 121 points from all other countries. Ukraine is arguably the most successful country to date, with two top 3 positions, despite not winning yet. Lilia Podkopayeva and Kirilo Hitrov represented the country in the 2008 contest. The Third Eurovision Dance Contest has been cancelled indefinitely.[1]
